Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 581 The County Magistrate is a Doormat

All the villagers in Luojin Village agreed to work in Baoli Trading Company and live on the construction site. Village Chief Tao stood next to Master Zhao with a bright smile on his face.

"It will take a while to pack up all the belongings. How about... I will personally take the villagers to Baoli Trading Company tomorrow to report?"

Master Zhao looked at the list of registered Luojin Villages in his hand, and after comparing every detail on the list, he nodded: "Okay, just in time, I will also go and inform the manager Gu of Baoli Commercial Bank. There should be casual workers at the construction site already starting to work. , you can just go to Baoli Trading Company to report."

Village Chief Tao nodded and bowed and said yes. Seeing that the matter was done, Master Zhao left Luojin Village with the government officials. There were two other villages nearby, but there was no rush.

Returning to the county government office, the county magistrate Yuan Wuguo, the boss with a swollen chin, was tied and sitting on a chair in the back hall of the county government office. Two government servants were watching over him, and they did nothing except groaning.

Master Zhao asked the two government officials to go back and rest first. There were still many things to do later, so he could just leave the care of Yuan Wuguo to himself.

The two government officials did not want to leave, for fear that Mr. Zhao would kill the county magistrate and then escape. When the time comes, all the government servants like myself will have their heads chopped off.

Master Zhao saw the two people's concerns: "What are you thinking about? We have been cooperating in governing Qiancheng County for so many years, so our friendship is natural. Let's go back and rest."

Seeing that Mr. Zhao had already talked about this, the two government officials had no choice but to leave the county government office. After the two left, Mr. Zhao bolted the gate of the county government office and quickly returned to the back hall.

Master Zhao hurriedly helped Yuan Wuguo loosen his ties and took off the footwear he was holding in his mouth. Then he ran non-stop to the master's room in the backyard to take out ointment for bruises.

Master Zhao often goes to surrounding villages, and it is common for him to fall and slip on the muddy roads on rainy days. He naturally has a lot of safflower oil in his room.

Yuan Wuguo watched as the cotton swab dipped in safflower oil was put close to his face. Before it was even applied, he began to gasp, as if he had been tortured.

"Luojin Village is going well, but whether everyone will come depends on how many people Baoli Commercial Bank will register tomorrow morning. There are a total of eighty-seven households, a total of 337 people."

Yuan Wuguo held his swollen chin: "Next time I act, just act. Can you be gentler? It's really killing me. It hurts so much, Brother Chong."

Zhao Chong looked at Yuan Wuguo and felt really wronged. Tears fell down his cheeks: "Do you want to eat the sesame candy?"

Yuan Wuguo stopped crying immediately: "Eat, I want two."

Master Zhao took out a pack of sesame candies from his arms and put two into Yuan Wuguo's hands. When they were children, the two of them would fight, and Zhao Chong would always coax him like this when Yuan Wuguo was angry and crying. Tried and true.

"Tomorrow morning, you will say that you are enlightened and want to stand together with the people of Qiancheng County. Just show up at Baoli Trading Company and I will do the rest."

Yuan Wuguo gently touched his swollen face: "Hey~ Can I show up like this? What will I say when I ask you? I said there was an internal strife in the county government and you beat me up?"

Zhao Chong was a little embarrassed, and he did use some force on his hands at that time: "It's just bad luck, I fell down, nothing happened. I'll go to Baoli Trading Company to have a look later, and by the way, I'll pick up the villagers of Luojin Village tomorrow." Submit the list.”

Yuan Wuguo nodded: "Bring me a roast duck set meal from Baoli Commercial Delicatessen. I've been hungry all day and you didn't say anything to leave me anything to eat."

Master Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked out quickly.

Arriving at the door of Baoli Commercial Bank, Gu Pinghai was checking today's accounts, including today's construction site expenses. He kept ticking valuable information and copying it into a notebook beside him.

Master Zhao didn't say anything when he saw Gu Guanshi being so serious. He just stood at the door and waited.

"Master Zhao, just go inside and sit and wait. Gu has some chores here that will take three to five minutes. Go in and have some tea."

Gu Pinghai didn't even raise his head. Master Zhao was obviously frightened. Did he know he was coming just by feeling?

When Gu Pinghai saw that the person outside the door had not come in, he frowned and raised his head: "Why doesn't Master Zhao come in?"

Master Zhao told Gu Gu Gu about his doubts. Gu Pinghai did not expect this to be the reason. He raised his finger and pointed to the window near the door on one side of the house: "My buddy, I saw you all the way away."

After Gu Pinghai finished transcribing the data on hand, he walked to sit opposite Master Zhao and picked up tea from the table: "Is there any problem with the evacuation on the government side?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head: "We plan to evacuate Luojin Village first, but we still need the help of Gu Gu. The reason for our evacuation of Luojin Village is to let the whole village come to work on the construction site. According to the wages offered by Baoli Trading Company, the man can work on the construction site for one day. One or two cents."

"Woman, I...I gave you seven coins a day. If Baoli Trading Company feels that the payment is too much, it will make up for it from the county government's account."

Gu Pinghai thought for a while: "Just seven dollars, no problem. The point is that those people must be evacuated. Evacuation will also allow them to get wages to strengthen the river embankment. I think... this is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone."

Seeing that Gu Guanshi was so easy to talk to, Master Zhao felt relieved: "Thank you very much, Gu Guanshi. The village chief of Luojin Village will bring the villagers here tomorrow morning. Here is the roster of Luojin Village."

Gu Pinghai picked up the roster on the table and looked through it. The records were still very neat: "Okay, I will make arrangements tomorrow morning. Will the whole village come?"

Master Zhao also relaxed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was indeed the tea brought out by Baoli Trading Company to entertain guests. The fragrance overflowed before he even entered his mouth. After entering his mouth, it rolled down his throat like rice soup, leaving a lingering feeling in his mouth. The fragrance lasts for a long time.

"They're all here, they're all here. I need to trouble the steward to prepare some tents for them."

Gu Pinghai took a pen and wrote on the roster: "Master Zhao, there is no need to be so polite. In this matter, we are both prosperous and deprived. If one of us is gone, I, the manager, will have to move to another place. If two people leave, I’m afraid my status as a manager will be lost.”

Master Zhao didn't expect it to be so serious, what if it were his own group of officials? This punishment will only be aggravated. Master Zhao couldn't help but swallowed when he thought of this.

Gu Pinghai called his assistant: "Go and prepare one hundred and thirty-two field tents. Let the brothers work overtime tonight to set them up. The overtime fees will go to my personal account. Place them according to the diagram drawn above. Don't do it for convenience. Use single ground nails and put in more fixings.”

The clerk took the roster and left to do some work. Master Zhao also knew it was time to leave, and remembered that Yuan Wuguo hadn't eaten all day.

"Guan Gu, is there anything left in the deli?"

"..."

Yuan Wuguo waited around in the county government office, and finally waited until Master Zhao came back. He had a lotus chicken in his left hand and a soy sauced trotter in his right hand, both wrapped tightly in oil paper.

"The roast duck is gone. This is a late-night snack for Gu Gu and the store clerk. I'll bring it to you. Eat it."
